最有效得到面試的方式- 內部推薦: 尋找內推資源 & 歹晚郎互助網絡
部落格讀者時常問我找工作的問題, 軟體工程師的精神就是如果你需要重複做同樣的事情第二次以上,你應該就要想辦法自動化重複的步驟。
於是我在 2015 年下半年寫了找工作系列文章:
1. 程式語言- 到底學哪個好?我想進Google,我沒學OOO,他們會接受我XXX語言背景嘛?
2. 簡介美國軟體工程師面試流程
3. 等待機緣- 我要如何被人資或獵人頭發現? 我要如何脫穎而出? LinkedIn重要嘛?
4. 主動出擊- 我要找工作了,現在美國都用什麼找工作?哪個網站平台能讓我有較多面試機會?
5. 軟體工程師面試準備- 面試要練習什麼? 找工作和練習的時間要如何平衡拿捏?
6. 被錄取了- 我該注意什麼,我可以談判要求多一點薪水、股票或假期嘛?
7. 矽谷找工作之常見問題 FAQ
去年因為一些朋友詢問從台灣或是亞洲到美國工作有什麼方法,我寫了總結分享於: 如何到美國科技公司工作?
而今年一月,有鑑於我的前公司 Tesla 裁員,我的體悟寫下了: 選擇比努力重要
在這一系列的文章中,我一直強調,找工作最好的方式就是找在目標公司的朋友,並且請他們幫你內推。 目前各大科技公司,一年如果沒有收到幾千萬封履歷申請、至少也有幾百萬封, 如何在眾多申請人中脫穎而出, 其中最重要的關鍵, 就是讓 “真人” 檢視你的履歷。 如果你是在公司網站申請,很多時候公司是用自動化系統來做第一步篩選。 就算你的經歷超棒,如果你的履歷沒有剛好寫到職缺期望的技能或經驗, 可能你就會被刷掉了 !
而請朋友內部推薦, 許多公司都會有專人來審核內部員工推薦的候選人,真人閱讀你的經驗,可能會注意到你的經驗亮點,大大增加你的面試機會!
如果你沒有認識的朋友在你想要投的公司怎麼辦呢? 一般來說你有幾個方法:
1. 從 LinkedIn 上找公司頁面,並且從員工的部分看你有沒有第二層的連結,許多時候你可以藉由共同的朋友,請他們幫你引薦。
2. 參加當地的 Meetup 活動,舉例來說你想要投 Netflix 的工作, 那像在 Netflix 舉辦的 Talk 介紹 Black Mirror: Bandersnatch 的活動就是你很好機會認識內部員工,如果你可以在活動上讓內部員工對你的能力刮目相看, 事後交流請他/她幫忙內推也是很自然的。
3. 在像是 Ptt Oversea_job 板,一畝三分地論壇或是 Blind (美國匿名工作社交網絡)上找尋在目標公司工作的網友, 並且請求對方幫忙你內推。
以上各種方式,都會需要你做出努力,想辦法呈現出你是一個能力很好,並且是個讓人願意幫忙你的候選人。
上週和阿雅的訪談中,我提到我想要做一個幫忙台灣人的網絡(目前名字取為 歹晚郎互助網絡, Phil Karlton 說過 There are only two hard things in Computer Science: cache invalidation and naming things. 命名是電腦科學中的最大兩個難題之一,想了許久這是我目前覺得不錯的名字), 2015 年我剛來矽谷的時候沒有認識太多人, 但我也有得到一些朋友或是朋友的朋友內推幫忙。 4 年多後, 我算是多認識各大科技公司的朋友, 如果真的要找下一份工作, 得到的幫忙應該是比 4 年前多很多。 我知道目前 entry level 的就業市場沒有像幾年前那麼好,大家有時候就只是需要一個敲門磚。 於是我找了一些台灣朋友,詢問他們願不願意幫忙需要幫忙的台灣人,目前也得到許多朋友的善意回應,大家也都願意在能力所及讓更多台灣人可以在面試的時候多一點點機會。 藉由這個網絡,你可以節省上述 1、2、3 方法尋找願意幫你忙員工的許多時間。
你可能會問: 等等, 大家是為了要賺內推獎金才幫忙的嗎?
矽谷許多公司會在員工內推的候選人正式上班後幾個月後給員工內推獎金,但我必須要說,我邀請的朋友大家出發點都是像 Pay It Forward 讓愛傳出去的電影中的熱心幫忙。 像是 Netflix、Expedia 沒有內推獎金,但朋友們還是願意花時間幫忙台灣人。 而現在科技公司的內推系統都會詢問的很詳細,要知道你和內推人的關係、以及你可以知道候選人多少專業技能。 一些公司如果不是很熟的朋友或前同事的關係也拿不到獎金。
我進到 Facebook 以來幫忙內推了大概 40 幾位朋友,每一位朋友我大概要花 15 ~ 30 分鐘來溝通、寫內推系統詢問的各式問題及推薦信,我還需要在面試後幫忙追 HR 詢問進度。 很多時候要整個面試流程要再多花 15 ~30 分鐘,所以保守估計我已經花了 25 小時以上來幫忙內推。 而目前我還沒有成功讓任何朋友因為我的內推被雇用,所以投資報酬率是 0。另外一位資深台灣同事,他在公司 8 年多,內推了許多朋友,目前也只有成功內推成功一位朋友。 我之前看到一篇文章 (現在寫的時候找不到,找到了再 update), 提到現在公司內推的成功率很低,同時獎金要在候選人被雇用後幾個月後,在內推人及被推人同時都還在公司的情況下才會發出,大部分人都拿不到內推獎金。 許多幫忙的朋友和我一樣都有家庭、有小孩,平常都沒什麼時間。我訂閱了 Netflix,但是每天都因為工作、照顧小孩很忙,睡眠不足,好幾個月沒有打開看了。 以我來說做內推真的不是期望那個獎金,可以拿到的話當然很好,但畢竟花的時間精力是遠遠不划算的,我只是希望台灣人有多一些機會可以進到至少第一輪面試關被考慮。
所以你說的歹晚郎互助網絡一定會幫助我內推嗎?
嗯...並不是, 我想這是需要先申明清楚的! 就像是你去參加各種 Networking 活動,或是在 LinkedIn 上找人介紹,你必須要讓對方了解你的經驗、技能、並且願意幫助你。 這個台灣人網絡你也是需要付出一些努力,有禮貌,提供詳實的自我經驗總結介紹,及提供需要內推的各種資料,幫忙的朋友看了你提供的資料後會依情況決定是否要花時間內推, 有時候他們看到你的履歷經驗不足、或是你沒有提供他們已經註明所需的資料、或是他們同個職缺已經內推了很多人, 為了維持內推的品質,所以拒絕你的請求。 大家也不想因為內推人內推太多不適任候選人而被 HR 列為黑名單,之後內推的台灣朋友都直接不被考慮吧。
那請問各公司願意讓大家這樣內推嗎?
基本上是沒問題的, 如果第一個問題提到,公司現在內推系統都很詳細,所以會問得很清楚, 前同事了解的程度和幫忙朋友的程度內推的效果有差,但是還是比直接從網路上海投有效果。 加上上一題提到,大家也是會評估,看你的經歷及你提供的各種資料來決定是否內推,所以不是來者不拒的盲目內推。
目前歹晚郎互助網絡有什麼公司的朋友呢?
目前有 Facebook, Apple, Amazon, Netflix, Google, LinkedIn, Dropbox, Nvidia, Workday, Airbnb, Uber, Pinterest, Expedia, DoorDash, GoFundMe, Cloudera, Affirm, Intuit, Spotify, SAP, Quora (持續增加中)。
請問我需要準備什麼呢?
請看以下的表格來看需要準備的資料給你想要投的公司

感激Selina Kinyee Chau翻譯我的散文作品,讓香港及台灣以外的朋友都能看得明白,從中文走向英語,是我作品的大突破,感謝妳一字一句的用心翻譯:)
《WhatsApp and its USD0.99》
by Roy Kwong Translated by Selina Kinyee Chau
The WhatsApp software developer has informed its users to the app to be payable, triggering a fight between iPhone users and android users because iPhone users only pay USD0.99 once to enjoy life-long service but android users need to pay the same price every year.
Android users complain, “Why iPhone users only need to pay once but we need to pay every year?” iPhone users retort, “You didn’t say anything when we were being charged at the beginning. And now you are complaining.” So the two parties are stuck at whether the charge is unfair to Android users.
After the Two Ticks and Last seen on (Please refer to the previous article of the same writer), the WhatsApp started a fight again because of this USD0.99 issue. From between lovers to friends, now it has even extended to the whole user group of the two giant software developers. It should be named the Most Evil App of the Century.
The inconsistency of charging is of course WhatsApp’s fault. However, for those who can afford a smart phone that cost thousands dollars will be able to afford USD0.99 which is only the price of a can of coke, won’t they?
Some student users may complain, “I don’t have a credit card, I’m not able to pay at the App Store, WhatsApp are not considerate of us.” It is reasonable for users under 18 to complain if they don’t have a credit card. But if the charge is a disaster of WhatsApp, isn’t it just time for people to show their kindness? Friends who have a credit card can rescue others at this time, “I have a credit card. Let me pay it for you.”
Friends without a credit card will appreciate what you have done for them, although it is WhatsApp’s fault of the forbiddance of sending messages before the expiry date, reactivating the function for your friends by buying them a can of coke is meaningful, isn’t it? The USD0.99 of WhatsApp has created a chance to show your care to your friends, how nice as a social networking app!
Recall those days when we were still texting, it was actually not financial friendly at all. For the sake of keeping in touch with our friends, we were compelled to use the same service provider as theirs even its service was the worst in the world and we had to survived three times every day from losing connection just because to keep the text messages free of charge.
Still, the Two Ticks and Last seen on functions have created a lot of problem. But the invention of WhatsApp allows us to send messages for free, save us from paying for every text messages. It deserves to be granted a credit. And the simplified process by just clicking a few buttons to send pictures, videos and audios when we could only do so via email in the past. What’s more, WhatsApp had actually stated in the Terms and Conditions that charge may be applied after the first year.
So there have been so many complaints about WhatsApp being unfairness and has been given the name “a broken app” when it announced to charge? No one ever said something like that before the charging. After the charge applied, negative comments has swept over the Internet. Some suggested to use another communication app, Line, which is free of charge, and WhatsApp has become the public enemy. Despite the inconsistent charge, what’s wrong for WhatsApp to charge for using the app?
Have we become too comfortable enjoying free lunch without notice?
I still remember how hard I tried to save to buy a CD home and listened to it again and again when I was a kid. I had never been tired of it because it wasn’t easy. When there was a movie I liked, I saved hard to go to the cinema for it. If I didn’t have enough money, I bought the VCD when it was released. But VCDs were only available for movies not for TV shows. I had to start sitting in front of the TV before the show I liked started so that I wouldn’t miss any parts. And recorders became my good friend too. I really cherished the only-180-minute memory of every tape.
After I grew up, thanks to the advanced technology becomes able to store everything, the TV, computer, CD player, VCD player, game station and recorders, into ONE smart phone, only without the air conditioner. Want to listen to a song? Go to Youtube; want a movie? PPS, internet TV! A TV show? There are also apps you can watch live TV or play back. Want some games? From Angry Bird to Candy Crush, there are thousands of choices waiting for you.
However, The advance of technology has devalue our attitude towards making efforts. Because everything has become easy to get nowadays.
Have you noticed the songs nowadays are not as good as those in the past? That could be the problem of quality itself but more likely, it is because we have too many options. Now we just need to click a few buttons, thousands of search results will come out and we can listen to them right after. We are spoiled to be greedy unconditionally. We didn’t realize how long we hadn’t paid for a CD until the news of HMV’s bankruptcy spread out.
In the past we had to sit still and paid 100% attention to the movie to enjoy it, now we can just watch it from a few-inch-wide screen on a train. But the price is we keep being interrupted by the surrounding noise and people. When the character is saying something moving, we would just realize we’ve missed the stop and have to rush to get off. It may be free to watch a movie like this but I prefer paying to buy a ticket to go to the cinema.
We don’t need to worry about missing the best part of a TV show because our friends always share them on Facebook. We don’t need to watch every scene but you know what is going on in every story. But why is there still something missing? It turns out that we only keep the concentrated part of everything while the every well panned detail has been wasted. We don’t spend time building a connection with the characters in the story. However, if we don’t even spend time watching the the TV show by ourself, how can we feel the same way as the characters do, like we did in the past?
You don’t feel the pain losing something if you have never made any effort. It is just like we keep those old comics that we spent all our pocket money on even they are old and worn , but we are able to uninstall an app on our phone without a thought. Well, just take a couple seconds to download and we will own it again anytime.
While we are expecting making no effort, we are also destroying creativity. Creators lack of motivation. Creativity is worth nothing nowadays. People will search for replacement when one creativity starts to charge. This is not just about the USD0.99 of WhatsApp, it’s about our value on Give and Take.
Technology has changed our life, but we should never let it change our values.
We avoid Giving. But giving is vital for us to learn to cherish. Sometimes we get back more by giving than not giving, not just about money but also about love. Think about it, if we get what we want easily without paying any effort, comparing with that you devote yourself to a relationship while the other devotes to the relationship as much as you. Then none of you will give up on the relationship easily.
If you think WhatsApp is good, it deserves the USD0.99. Although I am still annoyed by the evil functions such as the Two Ticks and Last Seen on. WeChat is free but you have to pay your liberty of speech for it. One user once tried to send the name of Southern Weekly in Chinese, the system reminded him that “The message has involved sensitive words, please try again after making modification.” What’s wrong with the name of Southern Weekly? The even more ridiculous thing is, while I am writing this article, I get the news that WeChat now has tightened up the regulation that users have to use their real name, phone number when posting on the public forum and are even required to upload the photo of them with their ID card, like you have committed some serious crime.
To avoid paying USD0.99, you need to escape to somewhere that and be monitored. One day if you really encounter some sensitive issue, you will realize not paying actually pays more than paying. I believe most of readers are willing to pay for this USD0.99. We hope WhatsApp will open up more channels for payments.
Don’t let the wheels of Time make us forget the value of giving.
